PETITION for: CAMERA API2 Support, lets try!

[Pruikki]

Thread copy pasterino here from Q&A....
PETITION https://www.change.org/p/zte-camera-api2-support-for-axon-7
We want ZTE to add Camera Api2 support for Axon 7
why do we want it? it is easy to add! and axon 7 supports it, But is not enabled by ZTE yet.

"Camera API 2.0 is New API which allowing you much better camera control by camera apps and also increase the performance of camera.
Camera API 2.0 is fast enough to take advantage of the full resolution of the sensor at 30 fps-burst mode. This means HDR or other such computational photography should be much "cheaper" to do on Android devices. The new API also allows for much more fine-grained control of the sensor, lens and flash per individual frame".

- Poll added

also, dac support for any audio app can be worked so that DAC is always on, but can be turned off/on function. "qualcomm/akm switch" for battery saving.

Signed.

This is what I wrote when I singed it.
Hope they read it.

" This is the correct way to implement camera features, ZTE should not use their proprietary closed source way and leave us out of all the mods we could use, like the enhanced Google Camera with HDR+ support, and all the camera apps that rely on Api2 for Manual Exposure time and ISO adjustments.
Please listen to us and make the camera Api2 guys, we'll make sure to advertise it as a good deed in all the developer community and this will uplift your sales, the Axon 7 is a great phone, if you provide support for it as well you could score a winner and make your Axon line as known as the Galaxy line one day. "

why not add for treble support they are giving us Oreo but excluding treble seems like a bad move to have.
so also start or add petition for adding support for project treble on our Axon7:fingers-crossed:

not sure if you guys are aware but there has been progress and success by LOS devs on other devices that shipped with legacy cameras.

they build an oss camera hal with full level support (camera api 2) with the help of IDA. and there will be more devices using the same approach.

I'm not gone name the devs who did it because I want to prevent that random users spam them with begs for help/support to port.
they are already limited in their free time as it is.
just saying it is possible with the proper knowledge even if the OEM doesn't provide any sources.

Is this something that the you/Mike could implement on the Axon 7? Are the codes semi/partially transferable?

no nothing is actually. every device is different.
and the dev would also require to have the device.

As said in other thread, No api2 in Oreo, but thats 50/50 now (petiton had effect perhaps)
-No treble, new axon hero phone will be soon announced, not this year but early next year like Q1 (if things go accordingly/as planned) (no worry,current owners,wont feel jealous)

Api 2 enabled on next device 100%
, i think

If the Axon 7 XDA community raise funds to buy Mike a Axon 7, will he consider trying to get API2 working on the Axon 7? Does he have the time to work on the device?

What does Mike think the chances are of getting API2 working, without having looked into the sources/device etc? High level of course.

I don't think he would consider maintaining/working on an additional device.
as he is already maintaining a bunch of other device's and has limited free time. as he is also one of the head dev's of los, he works on los code besides devices.

you could however try and ask Vitaliy who figured out how to IDA port the camera legacy to camera full.

Can you PM me Vitaliy details?

I'm putting my trust on this thread, please make it happen!

 

[Pruikki]

Hello.
We have reached more than our goal of 100 people on the petition now, And that is good.
232 signatures, To show for that there is large interest in this feature.
The Petition will be kept open, Because it is very active.

Now we need Change.Org to forward the message and ZTE Germany to take a look as well.
Things are going well.

But i can not guarantee that Api2 will be fully enabled in future updates in Oreo, But is looking promising

 

[gecko702]

hope this gets to the ZTE CEO

going to quote you here as i'm not sure if you receive notifications on pm's. I sent you two pm's today. I've talked to highwaystar today and he is interested. after you read them. I suggest to start a discussion in the axon7 community on my proposal.
